A Motion WM yesterday triade in the House of Commons by Mr. SHERIDAN for, the produaion of 11101 V Papers, The Itight Honourable Gentleman made, as usual, a very facetious. speech, but his Motion was negatived by a very large Majority. Having been accustomed to look upon Lord Gu v tt.r.c as a sound Statesman, however he might occapionally he influenced by political connexions, we we w much intprised at sotuedeclaraiions which clroPpQd, from him last night on the . subjea. of the Slave Trade, which incidentally occurred up* the second reading - , (if the Bill fur regulating our com mercial interrourso with the' Brazils.

We long ago pre. dieted that it would be impossible for Lord GREN vutz twartily to coalesce with his nth. , connexions, but we little thought that he would thus have cam rrrtted himself in opposition to one of their funda mental doarines. Yesterday a Committee of the Privy Council net at the Cockpit, Whitehall, and proceeded to bear a number of Prize Appeals. The Duke of PORTLAND is confined with' a bad cold, and in consequence 'a Cabinet Council Was ypsterday held at, Burlington-House, at two o'clock, instead of the Foreign Office. Wednesday being His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S , Birth-day, the same was kept by the Qualm and PaiNcEsses; at Frogmore Lodge. The Dukes of CAMBR/DGE, SLISSEX, and KENT were of the party. They staid till His MAJEsti returned from London, when they all retired to the Palace for the remainder of the evening. His Royal Highness's tradesmen of Windsor also, had a meet ing at the Tuns Tavern, on the occasion, to cele brate the day, where they sat down to an excellent dinner, and spent the day with mirth, harmony, and conviviality. Many loyal songs,' toasts, and sentiments were sung and said ou the oecesion. They broke up at the early hour of one irt the morning. His MAJESTY did not ride out yesterday morn ing. The QUEEN and, Princess ELIZABETB took an airing to Frogmore. A Court of Common Council was held yesterday at Guildhall, which was very numerously attended. —The Coutt agreed to Petition the House of Com mons"for leave to bring in Bills for the improvement of Smithfield .

The Bashaw, on hit part, poSitively refines, and tells the French Consul he is at liberty to depart from Algiers the inotnenr helms discharged all his debts, but eat Wore.

The new Play of The Wanderer, which was very well acted, and very much applauded, was followed, last 'night at this Theatre by a new musical Farce, entitled-ll'ho Wins? or, The WidOw's Choice. '1:116 story is soon related, though ,it is so ingeniously cqnstruEted as to keep the audience in suspense, and fully to obviate an anticipation , of the catastrophe. A whimsical old man, who bad acquired a fortune by gaming, left fifty thouland pounds to his niece, the Widow Bellair, on condition that she marries one,of his two nephews, lambic Ertempore, - a poor Poet, and Caper, a rich Merchant. The choice is to_ be determined by the highest throw on the dice, and if she shOuld refuse. the winner, the nephews are to divide the legacy; but if they both.rejeet her, she is to inherit the whole. The Widow, being un acquainted with her two Cousins, assumes the dis guise of her servant, Lisette, in order to ascertain their reape6tive chara6ters; but lest she should be discovered by her picture, she orders it to be re moved, and has that of an ugly old houSe-keeper substituted. ',.Ettempore, on the first view of the latter *trait, is disgusted, particularly as he had conceived a great partiality for the supposed Li sette.--Caper, who is only intent .on gain, is rejoiced to find, by-the picture,: that the Widow is so ugly, hoping that she will' be refused by Bx temptire, and that he'shall secure her and her fqrtune. 'Extempore, resolved not to marry so disagreeable an object as the portrait represents, readily sells the claim .which the dice had given him, to caper for a thousand pounds*. Soon atter he is undeceived, and 'finding tl:3t his favourite,' the Supposed Lisette,'was actually his cousin, the Widow, he is almost distract ed at the loss. The Widow, who is much attached to him for his disinterestedness, is also very.unh3pllY , , butt recolletline - that she kid received some gallant advances from Caper at Cheltenham, throws herself in his way, in her proper attire ; finding, 'however, that she cart niake no impression' on his sordid na ture, she,extracts from him a written rejection of her suit;:addresied to A. - B. This paper she afterivards produceS,, and declaring that A. B. signified Arabella Beltdir; she claims the whole fortune, upon thus proof that both nephews had ref,ased her, and finally gives her:hand to. Extempore. Though this Piece is' not quite :of so bold and dashing a descsiptiod as the other Farces.frorn it* avowed author, .Mr. AwriniiAm, yet it is by no means less entertaining. the' fable has not the probability of real lite, it is not too egtravagant, but is.calCulated to give good scope to the performers,, and to afford great entertainment' to the public.-•-• The Author has appropriated his charatlers very sue. cessfully. FAWCETT is excellent in Extempore; his bravura song was admirably given, and so wag MP' o,tfler'WhitllSlE4l song about the comparative advert., tages 'of .Learning and Leather. LISTON also was excellent in Caper, and his dancing accompaniment to the ,eir was highly diverting. The 'Widow ..had 'an animated represenhitive in Mrs. C. li.eStaLe.., who sang with great skill, and who,"a6led with great humour. -By the way, there is .1101illg in the piece 'to render it necessary that the character should be a widow, and therefore the author might as well have gyen her to her fortunate cousin in a state of simpio teripeonce.;, 11 11 1r i s rd . , L ft t o sr rn oe m h 4 a n d 4r ta w i re, well which trowdeucheed thisvein,fiers piece, and which is the only one in, it that is not original.
